São Paulo is a significant transportation hub in South America, featuring two primary airports: São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport (GRU) and São Paulo/Congonhas–Deputado Freitas Nobre Airport (CGH). The city also has major intercity bus terminals, including Tietê Bus Terminal, which is the largest in Latin America, and Barra Funda Bus Terminal.
São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) serves as the main international gateway. Flights from major US cities to GRU can range from approximately $173 to over $1,200 for one-way or round-trip, with travel times varying based on direct or connecting flights.
São Paulo is well-connected by bus to other Brazilian cities.
